Pauline and Matt sit down with Joe to talk about that very night and what we have to look forward to for the event taking place on June 7th. Pauline and Matt then get the opportunity to head to the 17th floor of Grand Traverse Resort to meet with Director of Culinary, Chef Bill Matthews of Grand Traverse Resort. They plan on taking the original 2007 menu and putting their own little spin on it! Chef Bill gives us his perspective of how to pair beer and food.

The Southeast Michigan Beer Liberator Brian Talpos joins the show to talk about a new beer release “Prolonged Enjoyment” which is a session IPA coming out this summer. He gives us some food recommendations to pair with this particular beer and also gives us tips on how to grill with beer.

It’s an episode devoted to food and beer pairings and we hope you learn a little something to take back to your kitchen! For reservations to the Imperial Series Food and Beer Pairing please call 1800-236-1577. Tickets are $65 and that includes tax and gratuity.
